There’s a LOT of Noise About Bank Marketing!

Sadly, the noise is mostly about Marketing Communications… on-line tricksters who don’t actually understand the Definition of Marketing… and/or operational experts who think they know Marketing because they know great tactics, promotional gimmicks or cost-savings methods.

What’s worse, is they loudly boast & aggressively hawk their services, so decision-makers in banks become cynical & dismissive – at the cost of REAL opportunities.

Banking Strategic Planners know Marketing Communications comes after the audience has been identified, the goals have been set & the strategy has been groomed and sculpted.

Promotion and Marketing Communications is NOT the answer!

Banking is serious business: Large profits are made from serious business people. Yet flamboyant ad agencies, creative digital firms and crafty promotional companies all insist graphs, logos and other visualizations are the key… nonsense!

In most banks, the most profitable segments deliver all the profits and the consumers who respond to certain promotional activity cause transaction volume that absorbs much of that profit!

Bank Marketing: The Customer Insights Based View

Think about segmentation. Wouldn’t you rather identify segments by profit contribution rather than psychographics?

Most organisations tend to drill down at a product level first before considering the complexity of their customer base. Neither pathway is right in isolation – we have found a balanced approach is required to achieve maximum benefit… For example, for one bank, we used mix of Life-stage, Value and Product Usage moving both horizontally and vertically simultaneously until we identified “the perfect offer”.

This, an d other initiatives that came form the work we did resulted in an annual profit increase of 22% without any increase in transactions!
